      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants will be allocated to the intervention and control groups using variable block randomization with block sizes of 2, 4, 6, and 8 and an allocation ratio of 1:1. The individual participant will be the unit of randomization. The random allocation sequence will be generated before participant recruitment using the online Sealed Envelope tool. The allocation sequence will be generated and maintained by an individual independent of participant recruitment and assessment. Allocation concealment will be ensured using sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. After eligibility has been confirmed, informed consent has been obtained, and baseline assessments have been completed, the corresponding envelope will be opened in numerical order to reveal the participant’s group allocation, Blinding description: The study will be conducted using a double-blind design. The outcome assessor (surgeon) and data analyst will be blinded to group allocation and will be unaware of whether participants are assigned to the intervention or control group. The probiotic and placebo capsules will be identical in appearance, color, odor, and packaging. Participants will also be blinded to the intervention they receive.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Acute anal fissure.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Participants in the intervention group will receive an oral probiotic capsule (Bio IBS) (Takgene Zist Company), with each capsule containing three probiotic strains: *Lactobacillus casei*, *Lactobacillus rhamnosus*, and *Lactobacillus acidophilus*, providing a total of 5 × 10⁹ colony-forming units (CFU) per capsule. The probiotic will be administered twice daily for 8 weeks, in addition to standard treatment, including warm sitz baths, topical diltiazem (Anti-Fissure) ointment, and lactulose. Intervention 2: Control group: Standard treatment, consisting of warm sitz baths, topical diltiazem (Anti-Fissure) ointment, and lactulose, will be administered for 8 weeks + Placebo.</i_freetext>
